Again, some FAs are amazing in what they've accomplished.

Unfortunately, in my experience, 90% are cut from one or more of the following cloth:

1) Straight out of the hood
2) Medicated with illegally obtained pills from India
3) Life drop outs who, at 26, realized they needed a job. Any job.
4) Have a rolling-FMLA for depression (verified, in that I know of two specifically who have this)
5) Are so poor that if someone offered them $20,000 to bring contraband through security they probably would. Heck, I used to date an FA that sold her "extended buddy" travel benefit for money!

Not to mention, it is so easy to become a FA that if a terrorist organization sponsored a young, naive "recently converted to extreme Islam" kid for $100,000 to be their drug/weapons mule, I'm sure it could be arranged.

So, for those reasons and more, I don't support KCM for FAs

And once again, NO pilots fit that description??
